ASEAN WITS(World Integrated Trade Solution): Usage

and Data Requirements

ASEANstats Presentation

High-Level Seminar on ACSS Strategic Plan 2016-2020Bogor, Indonesia, 17-18 June 2014

Introduction

o Part of the Support to the AIMO: AEC Integration Monitoring Report (AIMR)1. In-depth analysis of services liberalization and FDI2. Merchandise trade analysis – development

(customization) of the WITS for ASEANo To facilitate trade data analysiso Facilitate trade negotiationo To perform various kinds of simulation

WITS Customizationo Funded by AADCP II, Technical support from

World Banko Dialogue with WB since mid/late 2011o Key issue: o Accessibility of the data: should be for wider

public, not only for ASEC, AMSs government and World Bank staff concerned

o Under construction

ACSS Committee 2nd Session, Siem Reap, Cambodia, September 2012:o Endorsed a policy to provide access to IMTS data at

6-digit HS level to wider public and 8-digit AHTN for ASEAN purposes

o Endorsement of data support for the ASEAN WITS is pending, subject to further understanding about the usage and WITS capability

ACSS Committee-Related Decisions

ACSS Committee 3rd Session, Brunei Darussalam, September 2013o Adopted the ACSS Policy on Data Sharing,

Confidentiality and Dissemination of Statisticso Reiterated its support to the development of the

WITS-ASEAN moduleo Noted that ASEANstats will utilize IMTS at 6-digit

Harmonised System (HS) on per country level for this purpose

ACSS Committee-Related Decisions

Brief about the WITS(Extract from Regional Workshop on IMTS 23-24 October 2012)

o A software developed by the World Bank, in close collaboration with UNSD, WTO, UNCTAD, ITC

o A Data consultation and extraction software with simulation capabilitieso integrate several trade-related databases and provide easy

access international trade and protection related datao offers built-in analytical tools to assess the impact of tariff

changes

Brief about the WITS(Extract from Regional Workshop on IMTS 23-24 October 2012)

o International Trade and Protection related data• The UNCTAD TRAINS.

Annual tariffs structures (MFN Applied and Preferential tariffs, Ad Valorem or not)

Annual imports (values) tariff structures (current and final Bound, MFN Applied

and Preferential tariffs, Ad Valorem or not) since 1996

WITS Functionality

• Data retrieval and analysis• Quick query• Advanced query• Tariff Change Simulations• Other options– Utilities– Support materials

WITS Functionality• Quick Search: – To define a simple query and obtain results quickly

• Advance Query: – Offers a lot of flexibility and options to define large and

complex queries.• Tariff change Simulations: – The SMART simulation tool to estimate the impact of tariff

changes on tariff structures, on trade, tariff revenues and welfare.

• Results: – to check the status of your submitted queries and

simulations, view results, add/remove indicators/columns to your results, and download the data.

• Utilities: – gathers various tools aimed at increasing your productivity

with WITS like definition and sharing of product and country groups, you often use in your queries.

• Support materials: – give access to reference material like database catalogs,

nomenclatures and concordances

Tariff and Trade Simulations: SMART Simulation tool

• Estimate the impact of tariff changes on tariff structures, on trade, tariff revenues and welfare.• Trade creation (TC)– Increased exports as a results of changes in demand and

prices• Trade diversion (TD)– Changes in market shares/substitution of goods from

different exporters, due to changes in relative prices• Total trade effect = TC + TD• Other effects– Tariff revenue changes, welfare effects

A Scenario to be defined:• Products for which the tariff is changed• Partners that will be affected by the tariff reform.• Formula on how tariffs are to be affected

User defined cut (new rate)Maximum RateLinear Cut - certain percentage cut over all products.Swiss Formula

Elasticity is to be assumed, which define behaviors and affect the magnitude of the impact (Demand, Supply and Substitution between two suppliers)
